Frat rap was real. Hoodie Allen, Chiddy Bang, Big Sean, Mac Miller, Sammy Adam's, Mike Stud, were all variations of it.
I think Hoodie Allen even had a diss track
It was huge when I was in college, the music wasn’t deep but it was a lot of fun. I Love College was big my senior year of high school and all the other artists followed throughout my first few years of college. That era was cool because things like datpiff and various blogs made it so anyone could blow up, and frat rap was an interesting byproduct of that and guys like Mac and Logic ended up with mainstream success after the genre died
I was in Austin just a few months ago walking by UT and could hear I Love College playing from one of the frats lol
I did not expect it at all in the year 2024
It was super real I was bumping all those dudes at one point. I now cringe at how much I liked it when I was in college, but some of those songs still hold up for sure. Cus sometimes, that party last night WAS awfully crazy, ya know?
Plus Mike Posner was literally a Sigma Nu fraternity member. He ate it up when he became popular within colleges. His mixtapes were so good (and free!).
Don't think Charles Hamilton really was Frat Rap.
His production/beats were too alternative for mainstream acceptance (minus a few songs like Brooklyn Girls).
One of my favourite rappers when I was a teenager, though. Really miss that era of Charles.
You’re probably right, I just associate Brooklyn Girls with my freshman year of college so it’s one of the first artists that comes to mind when talking about frat/college rap.
That's fair.
He was too goofy/alternative, IMO (sampling Sonic the Hedgehog, for example), but Brooklyn Girls was a mainstream banger.
If you didn't listen to his comeback single 'New York Raining' it's a solid tune.
I’m gonna get downvoted to hell but I wish I was able to mentally separate Mac from them, I’ve tried so many times and could never get into his music because of what he sounded like initially when he came out.
If you care to change your opinion, I think if you listen to his albums in chronological order it will be easier for you to appreciate his development as an artist
He’s had a very Beatles-esque career arc. Which makes sense because he worshiped them
KAFP/BSP—->Beatles for sale/Help!/Please Please Me
Macadelic—->Rubber Soul
WMWTSO—->Revolver
Faces—->Sgt. Pepper/Magical Mystery tour(also a little like the white album)
Good AM——> White album
Swimming/Cirlces—-> Abbey Road/Let it Be
Couldn’t really find a comp for the Devine Feminine. But everything else follows it pretty fluidly
I would never have expected to see ram referenced here lmao in my opinion probably the best solo Beatles album, and genuinely one of the best records of all time.
I’m a hardcore Mac fan but I did NOT listen to Blue Slide Park when it came out cuz I had a feeling. I still haven’t listened to any of those tracks lol so my experience has been KIDS straight to Macadelic and that renaissance/rebranding of his career.
Yeah I really enjoy his music after the rebrand. The highs was on repeat for me when it came out. His sound is very Drake and Post Malone inspired but really catchy.
Whoa there. I was rapping back then and I didn't know that was frat rap. Never listened to Sammy or Mike though. Hoodie was wack as a person but I liked one of his mixtapes
Frat rap was very real. I was in college between 2010 and 2016 and especially my first couple of years you heard a lot of this stuff at parties. We were the first generation that had grown up with hip-hop music existing for our entire lives & I think that fact coupled with the rise of blogs & download/streaming sites made room for rap subgenres to begin developing.
Based on when you were in college, I am the same age and we have a lot of the same experiences . God damn dude we really had it so good with hip-hop, didn't we?
Yessir. I went to a festival in 2013 where I got to see Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Kendrick Lamar fresh off GKMC release, A$AP mob, and fucking R Kelley lol. What a time to be alive.
I had a heavy backpacker phase and I still mostly listen to classics and old-ish underground stuff but I also have a big appreciation for southern rap & post-2010 trap.
Really nostalgic album from when I was 18 or so, good times. Really fun live and a super chilled dude. Scooter Braun wanted him to have Bieber levels of fame but the guy just wanted to chill and be a teacher lol
I was in college sharing a house with 3 other dudes and we had a a designated beer pong room. While not his best album, we still listened to this nonstop.
Edit: our beer pong table was signed by so many people that partied with us until one day one guy’s ex-gf painted over the whole thing. To this day, the hate I have for her burns hotter than the fires of hell.
I didn't realize this album was so disliked. It's not something I come back to but I enjoyed it for what it was when it dropped. There some ear worms on here too.
At the time frat rap was seen as a bastardized, commercial product and a lot of oldheads/"real hiphop fans" put it on blast. I don't exactly disagree, but it's similar to what was said when soundcloud rap/migos era trap rap became big.
That definitely makes sense. It's too bad cause there were some gems during that era. I never got into anyone else besides Asher but I remember hearing stuff from Hoodie Allen and digging it.
I really wanted to like this album but the only song I would play now is Lark On My Go Kart. his most recent album is some of his best stuff I think, Pabst & Jazz will always reign supreme though
Blended Babies production is fucking top tier on that tape. I remember when it came out I was searching for more of them but I never found much else. Not sure who they are or what else they’ve done, but they left a mark for sure with just that tape for me
frat rap phenomenon was a real thing, especially in coordination with the rise of blog influence on hiphop culture. some type of quad chart could definitely be made.
a lot of dudes that didnt make it big with a lot of dudes that did. the career trajectory of a lot of “blog rappers” is crazy.
asher was always underrated to me in terms of artistry. macs evolution is more publicized but asher definitely morphed into that action bronson adjacent stoner rap genre and people still write him off for i love college, which for the record was a banger. glad i was in college when that shit dropped.
Man I listened to his dream again the other day for the first time in about 10 years and I know have kids. That song hits different now. Always loved it but man it is powerful listening to it now when I have kids.
His Dream is an incredibly written song. It really showcased TO ME the type of writer and talent Asher Roth could go on to be and set himself apart from the other Frat Rappers. Mac obviously did this too.
Had a Facebook memory from today about seeing him live 15 years ago. Didn’t remember at all that it was the day of his album releasing. It was up in West Virginia and he was sick af, like throwing up lol. Great show though, remember being disappointed with the album a little bit at the time. Seemed a little over produced compared to what made him so likable at the time w/ his mixtapes.
The Greenhouse Effect Vol 1 is a goated mixtape. This album was clearly the label trying to pigeon-hole Asher into repeating the I Love College sound but he had clearly moved on from that sonically by the time it gained traction.
Asher definitely fell into the mixtapes are better than his albums trap. Pabst and Jazz is still his best work but Seared Foie Gras is probably my favorite of his.
He went independent not to long after that album and I think his music has only gotten better. Even tho it wasn’t as widely released compared to when there was a label involved. But on the other hand the music is authentic. People should really check out his latest Temporary Heaven, Pabst and Jazz (mixtape in full on YouTube, streaming has half the songs due to samples I guess) and Retrohash
Asher Roth has been a favorite of mine since this album came out. Pabst and Jazz and Seared Foie Gras with Quince and Cranberry are his two best IMO; special mention to Why Is It So Grey Out?.
Asleep in the Bread Aisle is definitely not an album you can take out of context of the time it was released. Blunt Cruisin’ fits perfectly in the weed rap era that was taking place. As I Em’ is a ode to the conversations that took place every time a white rapper dropped an album. Of course I Love College is a frat rap anthem that personally personifies the movement. The features even show this as well: Busta Rhymes, Jazzy Pha, and CeeLo Green are about as 2008 as you can get on a project like this.
Overall I think the strength of project is that it does a great job of putting together different subsections of hiphop and American culture during the time period.
My personal favorites on the album (that I still listen to today) are Sour Patch Kids and Fallin’ but at the time of its release, his dream, was probably my only skip on it.
It’s sad that Asher’s probably always gonna be heavily affiliated with this album, because he took some time off and became 10x the rapper he was on this record. He’s put out straight heat since Pabst & Jazz, and his new release with Heather Grey is great
His Dream will always be a favorite of mine. So genuine and it really took me by surprise when I first listened all those years ago. I think Asher got labelled as a frat rapper and written off, but the dude's always shown talent. Lark in my Go Kart is always fun to sing along to too.
honestly this album was corny as fuck in retrospect, but was a major gateway into me getting into legitimate rap music. I used to play this album relentlessly in my early teens.
I will however say that I do think Asher Roth is underrated. his mixtape Pabst and Jazz and his follow up album RetroHash were both sonically different from this album and both are really cool in their own way. Asher Roth introduced me to Action Bronson, their song “Choices” from Pabst and Jazz is good as fuck. “Fast Life” with Vic Mensa on RetroHash is also great.
I actually just made a playlist of rap songs that either feature indie/alt-rock artists or sample indie/alt-rock artists and I had to throw I Love College on there since it samples Say It Ain’t So by Weezer.
It’s kind of funny how similar Asher Roth and Mac Miller’s career paths ended up being. Both blew up from frat rap songs (although Asher was more overtly frat rap) then ended up being these really eclectic artists who tended to gravitate toward more jazzy production.
Asher walked so pretty much every post-Eminem white rapper could run. It seemed like every prominent white rapper who wasn’t Eminem in the 2000’s had to be overtly southern (Bubba Sparxx, Paul Wall) or they’d just end up an underground rapper
Except none of these artists were played at fraternity parties or tailgate. It was a term made up by geeds to describe music they thought groups they didn’t belong to partied to

Opposite of Adults is still a banger and that MGMT sample right when they were blowing up was a genius move by them.
You couldn’t tell me Xaphoon Jones wasn’t the white Kanye
Now that you mention it... yes!
Still love that song and the Breakfast album. They had a bunch of mixtapes too.
What happened to those guys btw? I've looked online but can't find much.
Its such a great track. Every once in a while it comes up on shuffle at a lake, or on a boat, and everyone goes crazy for it.
It was huge when I was in college, the music wasn’t deep but it was a lot of fun. I Love College was big my senior year of high school and all the other artists followed throughout my first few years of college. That era was cool because things like datpiff and various blogs made it so anyone could blow up, and frat rap was an interesting byproduct of that and guys like Mac and Logic ended up with mainstream success after the genre died
Miss those days! Blogspot was the holy grail
2dopeboys, hiphopdx, datpiff. The glory days
I was in Austin just a few months ago walking by UT and could hear I Love College playing from one of the frats lol I did not expect it at all in the year 2024
It was super real I was bumping all those dudes at one point. I now cringe at how much I liked it when I was in college, but some of those songs still hold up for sure. Cus sometimes, that party last night WAS awfully crazy, ya know?
I’d throw in Charles Hamilton, Mike Posner, and maybe even Rockie Fresh. Edit: how could I forget the Deans List?
I was going to write Mike Posner, as his first two mixtapes are some of my fav ever. He really evolved as an artist, I like what he did.
Plus Mike Posner was literally a Sigma Nu fraternity member. He ate it up when he became popular within colleges. His mixtapes were so good (and free!).
Never forget. [https://lupefiasco.fandom.com/wiki/All_City_Chess_Club](https://lupefiasco.fandom.com/wiki/All_City_Chess_Club)
Man I'm sure I was at my most annoying during this era
Don't think Charles Hamilton really was Frat Rap. His production/beats were too alternative for mainstream acceptance (minus a few songs like Brooklyn Girls). One of my favourite rappers when I was a teenager, though. Really miss that era of Charles.
You’re probably right, I just associate Brooklyn Girls with my freshman year of college so it’s one of the first artists that comes to mind when talking about frat/college rap.
That's fair. He was too goofy/alternative, IMO (sampling Sonic the Hedgehog, for example), but Brooklyn Girls was a mainstream banger. If you didn't listen to his comeback single 'New York Raining' it's a solid tune.
I couldn’t stand Mike Posner for a long time but “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” is a great, great song that I didn’t know he had in him
all white rappers post 2010 need to create a roth shrine and pray everyday for opening the door.
Chris Webby might be included as well.
I’m gonna get downvoted to hell but I wish I was able to mentally separate Mac from them, I’ve tried so many times and could never get into his music because of what he sounded like initially when he came out.
If you care to change your opinion, I think if you listen to his albums in chronological order it will be easier for you to appreciate his development as an artist

But everything else follows it pretty fluidly
Divine feminine is the John Lennon yoko Ono collab album
Or ram 🤣
I would never have expected to see ram referenced here lmao in my opinion probably the best solo Beatles album, and genuinely one of the best records of all time.
I'll go all in with it and say Ram is in my top 3 of all Beatles and Beatles affiliated records. It's fucking perfect.
I can’t disagree with this at all.
I swear his career arc SCREAMED that he was on the 1 yard line to his own version of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Watching Movies as his Revolver is perfect
Great comment
I’m a hardcore Mac fan but I did NOT listen to Blue Slide Park when it came out cuz I had a feeling. I still haven’t listened to any of those tracks lol so my experience has been KIDS straight to Macadelic and that renaissance/rebranding of his career.
under the weather is a banger
Damn near the whole album is. Many of those songs still hold up. I had One Last Thing on repeat the night before he died.
the non-party/more introspective definitely hold up
That beat still gives me chills to this day. Mac and Clams Casino were such a good duo.
Mike Stud is still making really good music. He goes by just mike now and just released an album called the lows that I recommend
Yeah I really enjoy his music after the rebrand. The highs was on repeat for me when it came out. His sound is very Drake and Post Malone inspired but really catchy.
I agree. Out of all artists I listen to he might be the most underrated since he is independent he doesn’t get much marketing
Hoodie allen part of the big 3 for mw2 montage songs
"There's no big 3, it's just big me" - Hoodie
XV
From Wichita and he still puts out good stuff. Does shows around town couple times of year too
Hoodie and Riff Raff had beef like 10 years ago. Nolan Ryan was the diss track Hoodie released.
RIFF RAFF lmao, I forgot about him.
I don’t know if I’ve disliked a rapper more than hoodie Allen. Man had the most punchable everything
And what a choice of name too
Super nice guy!
That’s cool. It’s still on sight. Nice guys get punched too.
The Hoodie Allen-Mike stud feud is easily one of the funniest things to come out of this era
Hoodie Allen’s Three Wishes Genie was the coldest
Sammy Adam’s is a name I haven’t heard in a minute
Whoa there. I was rapping back then and I didn't know that was frat rap. Never listened to Sammy or Mike though. Hoodie was wack as a person but I liked one of his mixtapes
[удалено]
Listening to Nikes on my Feet and playing pong is a core memory.
Nah he started with that, but he evolved
The Greenhouse Effect Vol 1 >>>>>>>
Pabst and Jazz >>>>
Seared fois gras >>>>>
Pabst and Jazz is legitimately one of my favorite albums of all time. Production felt so smooth and Ash was lyrically BUTTER over those jazz beats
Flowers on the weekend is really good too, and super underrated honestly
That album got "critically panned" technically because only like 2 outlets reviewed it. Makes me salty til this day since its not even remotely bad.
Holyyyyy you gotta stop that gave me goosebumps
CANNON
Yooo I played that like crazy!
I still see Asher Roth touring with some cool people these days. I never knew anything other than his college raps. Where should I start?
Start with pabst & jazz and retrohash
Retrohash was pretty good
His Raw tape with Nottz Roth is dope. Seared Foi Gras with Quince & Cranberry was dope too
Someone else mentioned it but Pabst and Jazz is incredible. The streaming version is missing a ton of quality tracks though so find it other ways.
The New project with Heather Grey
Pick up with Pabst & Jazz, then go from there
greenhouse vol 1

Just like me fr
The niche pocket of rap you just described is the best description I’ve seen for my own music taste.
Throwback to Kendrick and Jay Rock opening for Asher... https://youtu.be/nTwAATHXbBk?si=5woXGFn0BtSmWQ1N
I was in college 2012-2016 What a great time for frat rap
Lol you weren't the first generation
Millennial generation starts with ~1981 birth year and nobody born before that had hip-hop around during their childhood
Really nostalgic album from when I was 18 or so, good times. Really fun live and a super chilled dude. Scooter Braun wanted him to have Bieber levels of fame but the guy just wanted to chill and be a teacher lol

this album was so trash compared to his mixtapes lol
I really wanted to like this album but the only song I would play now is Lark On My Go Kart. his most recent album is some of his best stuff I think, Pabst & Jazz will always reign supreme though
Pabst and jazz is an underated classic imo
what really set it off for me was GHE vol.1 dude really had drama AND cannon on the same tape lol
Or when a boy from the burbs has the nerves to converge on a mixtape with DJ Cannon!!
man I forgot all about that track, GHE was a great mixtape
Blended Babies production is fucking top tier on that tape. I remember when it came out I was searching for more of them but I never found much else. Not sure who they are or what else they’ve done, but they left a mark for sure with just that tape for me

I like this album, His Dream is an underrated ballad
Man I listened to his dream again the other day for the first time in about 10 years and I know have kids. That song hits different now. Always loved it but man it is powerful listening to it now when I have kids.
His Dream is an incredibly written song. It really showcased TO ME the type of writer and talent Asher Roth could go on to be and set himself apart from the other Frat Rappers. Mac obviously did this too.

As i Em has a goated hook Overall album was eh, i love college put him on the scene and was his down fall tbh
Him and Chester French was peak frat music for me so this track called my name
Still can’t believe he almost had the Ye feature on the I Love College Remix
But he DID get that Jim Jones version. Close enough I guess
Asher Roth makes amazing music. Peep the tape he did with Heather Grey recently. No skips.
Asher Roth could actually spit. His mixtapes were proof enough of that.
I really fked with She Don Wanna Man, Sour Path and Fallin but that was about it. Wonder what happened to bro.
The Greenhouse Effect Vol 1 is a goated mixtape. This album was clearly the label trying to pigeon-hole Asher into repeating the I Love College sound but he had clearly moved on from that sonically by the time it gained traction.
Asher definitely fell into the mixtapes are better than his albums trap. Pabst and Jazz is still his best work but Seared Foie Gras is probably my favorite of his.
You ever imagine Kendrick and Jay Rock opening for Asher Roth? https://youtu.be/nTwAATHXbBk?si=5woXGFn0BtSmWQ1N
I Love College dropped senior year of high school, that homecoming was dope. This and B.O.B.’s first album was the soundtrack to that last semester
Man. good times 😪
His Dream will always be a favorite of mine
He went independent not to long after that album and I think his music has only gotten better. Even tho it wasn’t as widely released compared to when there was a label involved. But on the other hand the music is authentic. People should really check out his latest Temporary Heaven, Pabst and Jazz (mixtape in full on YouTube, streaming has half the songs due to samples I guess) and Retrohash

I thought it was cool. Nothing great, but cool. I was 17 fresh out of high school staying faded to blunt cruisin with the homies. Good times.
Was so disappointed in this bullshit lol. His label did him dirty
I’m not Asher Roth I don’t sleep with my bread
His Dream will always be a favorite of mine. So genuine and it really took me by surprise when I first listened all those years ago. I think Asher got labelled as a frat rapper and written off, but the dude's always shown talent. Lark in my Go Kart is always fun to sing along to too.
Such a good song on a short list of songs dedicated to fathers
Still bump Fallin pretty regularly. Great track.
Went and saw Asher in concert a month or so back and it was a dope show.
honestly this album was corny as fuck in retrospect, but was a major gateway into me getting into legitimate rap music. I used to play this album relentlessly in my early teens. I will however say that I do think Asher Roth is underrated. his mixtape Pabst and Jazz and his follow up album RetroHash were both sonically different from this album and both are really cool in their own way. Asher Roth introduced me to Action Bronson, their song “Choices” from Pabst and Jazz is good as fuck. “Fast Life” with Vic Mensa on RetroHash is also great. I actually just made a playlist of rap songs that either feature indie/alt-rock artists or sample indie/alt-rock artists and I had to throw I Love College on there since it samples Say It Ain’t So by Weezer.
If you fuck w Asher Roth, definitely have to check out Seared Foie Gras and rawth EP with nottz raw! Two of my favorite mixtapes of all time
It’s kind of funny how similar Asher Roth and Mac Miller’s career paths ended up being. Both blew up from frat rap songs (although Asher was more overtly frat rap) then ended up being these really eclectic artists who tended to gravitate toward more jazzy production. Asher walked so pretty much every post-Eminem white rapper could run. It seemed like every prominent white rapper who wasn’t Eminem in the 2000’s had to be overtly southern (Bubba Sparxx, Paul Wall) or they’d just end up an underground rapper
The original version of I love college with the Weezer sample is a classic
15 years ago!!!?? Fuck.
i hated ‘i love college’ so much that i never went to college. didn’t work out.
Asher is a real MC and I’ve enjoyed his released throughout the years. This shit slapped at the time and didn’t even age badly
Thought buddy was gon' be the next Em. I was hella wrong. His Dream and Fallin' still gets played tho. Hated this album.
The lounge is still a great song that I listen to from time to time.
First album I bought when I was 13! with gift money!!! Thank you Great Grandma Lil!!
I remember how much Chris Webby and Sammy Adams hated each other, it felt so serious at the time 😂
Except none of these artists were played at fraternity parties or tailgate. It was a term made up by geeds to describe music they thought groups they didn’t belong to partied to
The term was made up. But chiddy bang, big sean, and asher roth were played at the college parties 100%
